Wenger has 'no regrets' over Suarez as Arsenal boss rules out fresh bid

Arsene Wenger says he has no regrets over failing to land Luis Suarez in the summer, and the Arsenal boss insists he will not be renewing his interest in the striker.

The Uruguayan rocked Liverpool last year when he told them he wanted to leave in search of Champions League football.

Arsenal offered £40,000,001 for the prolific ex-Ajax star in the belief that would trigger a release clause - but they were mistaken and Liverpool fought to keep their star man.

Suarez has gone on to bag 23 Premier League goals for the Reds, as well as secure a lucrative new contract, and will no doubt have the Gunners' defence running scared ahead of their trip to Anfield on Saturday.
